here are the tasks.

login for control panel

(in uploaed file)

i need the same thing done as you did last time except this time i
need it done to both areas

vsadmin/inc/inctopcats.asp 
db table = topsections
db column = tsimage
description field = tsDescription

and 
vsdamin/inc/inccats.asp
db table= sections
db column = sectionImage
description field = sectionDescription

the updates should allow it work like the first one u did where u can
upload or modify pics using the code in the page
vsadmin/upload_page.asp

The last thing is to get both descriptions and and the thumnail image
to display in the appropriate place at categories.asp for which the
include file is

inc/inccategories.asp


Thanks a bunch!

Hello, binarian:
  Just to be sure, you want me to:

-Add the javascript popup window to upload images when "creating new"
top categories and categories

-Add the javascript popup window to upload images when "editing" top
categories and categories

-Display the right info (thumbnail, description) on the categories page

Am I right?

Regards.

Clarification of Question by binarian-ga on 15 Feb 2004 11:44 PST
yes absolutely on each individual TOP category id page. for example

http://www.(domainname).com/categories.asp?id=41

should show the associated Category Image and Description above the
links for the Categories. Thanks!

Hello, binarian:
  Sorry for the delay, I have been really busy this week, I have
updated your top categories and categories page to allow the user
upload images and set the result on the upload image field, both
creating new categories or editing existing ones. I have checked the
categories page and there is already code to show up the images, for
example, check this:

http://www.(domainname).com/categories.asp?id=41

If you need something to be done on this, just let me know.

I hope this is what you were looking for, in any case, don't hesitate
to request for a clarification.

Regards.

top cat description. ony the sub cat image and des show on this page.
thanks!

Hello, binarian:
  Please, check out again that page (categories.asp?id=41), I have
added the images and descriptions to the top categories shown on the
left of the page. Is that what you want?

Regards.

Request for Answer Clarification by binarian-ga on 22 Feb 2004 21:21 PST
its still not there... 

for example..

look here http://(site)/categories.asp

see how the first top category has an image and description?

when you got http://(site)categories.asp?id=41 the sub categori images
are fine. those you have as requested. however at the top of the
page...the TOP LEVEL images and description should be displayed as
seen at categories.asp

Request for Answer Clarification by binarian-ga on 22 Feb 2004 21:28 PST
right now you have it in the left hand column....you have the write
idea but the wrong location.

the idea is to have that image description ABOVE all the subcategory links at 
ttp://www.(domainname).com/categories.asp?id=41 so that you can see a
logo file and description for all the subcategory links. just move the
logo and desc to above the links at
ttp://www.(domainname).com/categories.asp?id=41

Hello, binarian:
  Please, take another look to see if this time is this what you need.

please note these 2 things.
there is now a space betweel all link items on the left hadn side of
the page that wasnt there before.

and the image upload for the sections are not being resized but rather
inserted as actual size.

Request for Answer Clarification by binarian-ga on 24 Feb 2004 07:33 PST
in fact the thumnail script is not runnig at all in
upload_image_sec.asp because a 2nd image with _small appeneded to
title is not being created in the prodsimages directory but was
created in the other file u modified previously which was
upload_image.asp

Request for Answer Clarification by binarian-ga on 27 Feb 2004 07:50 PST
get a chance to look at this since? the thumnailing part is crucial?
tell me if you have any login problems..

Clarification of Answer by joseleon-ga on 28 Feb 2004 04:40 PST
Hello, binarian:
 The thumbnail resizing problem is very strange, because when I
started this answer, 20 Feb, it was working, indeed, last thumbnails
in /prodimages directory are dated 20 Feb, but now, resizing is not
working at all, not only for categories, but for products also.

I have been debugging the resizing routine and it seems you have
reconfigured your server, because this global variable:

ResizeAutoComponent110

Is set to

DOTNET1

Which it doesn't perform any kind of resizing, because valid values are:

PICPROC
SHOTGRAPH
ASPJPEG
ASPIMAGE
ASPSMART
IMGWRITER
ASPTHUMB
ASP.NET

So that's why resizing doesn't work, because the component you have
set it's not listed here, if you set it to ASP.NET, then, it tries to
detect which ASP.NET resizing component is installed, "DOTNET1",
"DOTNET2" or "DOTNET3", but I have forced the script to use one of
them and none is correctly installed.

Please, think in what configuration changes or component installations
have you performed on the server and fix the problem so I can use the
thumbnails.

Regards.

Request for Answer Clarification by binarian-ga on 03 Mar 2004 12:39 PST
wow that was a mess but its working now. seems the auto detect was not
robust enough to detect asp.net on windows 2003. Also there were
permissions and IIS 6.0 issues i had to run thought. the image uploads
are working now.

what i did notice though is that on the inccategories page which you
included the image in.. it displays the full size image and not the
_small thumnail which is created. that and there is still space
between the links on the left hand side. please do not upload any of
the source until u download the new code i have worked on in the image
upload files.
i will be tipping you on this as it has grown a little bulky!

Hello, binarian:
  Please, check the link categories.asp?id=41, I have aligned to the
left the contents table, so now there's no space between the left side
and the right side, also I have modified the code to show, both in top
and in listing, the _small version of images for top categories and
for categories. Please, check it out and tell me if you find any
additional problems.

Thanks in advance for the tip ;-)

ASP doesn't have any "command" allowing you to upload a file to the
server (as .NET have), but there is a lot of tricks to do it ;).

There is a soft called "ASPUpload" that have a dll with you can upload
files to the server (text filex, graphic files... any kind of files).
http://www.aspupload.com/ (not free)

Other system is use a little asp program that allows you to "upload"
(read the file as binary data and write it to disk) a binary data to
the server. Then you can upload binary files, and then, you can upload
any file to the server.
You can find an example in http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=4596
